Functie omschrijving
Job description:
Do you understand when something is safe enough, and do you know better than anyone how safe products form the basis of a safe and stable society? Do you enjoy connecting policy officers and technical specialists so that the essence of legislation is translated into technical requirements, and vice versa? Do you have the drive to improve the cybersecurity of products so that consumers and businesses can use them safely? Would you like to participate in discussions and decisions at an international level about what the norms and standards in the field of product cybersecurity should look like?
The RDI is preparing for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). This European regulation imposes requirements on all manufacturers of products with digital elements that are offered on the European market. From hypervisors and firewalls to toys and video games, and from solar panels to industrial control systems, all products must be designed according to a security-by-design methodology, in which security risks are removed, and the product ultimately is affixed with the CE mark. The RDI advises policy officers on laws and regulations, works internationally on common agreements on norms and standards, and will soon supervise compliance with this regulation.
In your position as specialist, you will contribute to the creation and implementation of the CRA. Together with your colleagues, you will ensure international coordination in European standardization organizations such as CEN, CENELEC and ETSI so that new norms and standards in the field of cybersecurity can be created and complied with. Working internationally can be hybrid, but during onboarding or for certain issues, it is important to connect physically. You will work effectively with public and private organisations, and you will be in direct contact with policy colleagues from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Climate and Green Growth and the Ministry of Justice and Security. In addition, you will work closely with the inspectors who monitor compliance with the CRA, and you will be able to translate practical findings into effective standards and requirements for products. You will also be working in a team of 20 colleagues who, like you, are involved in the approval and standardisation of products on the European market. Your direct colleagues are highly trained technical specialists and advisors in the field of wireless communication, radio equipment, spectrum engineering, measuring and weighing equipment, hardware and software development, cyber security and AI. Within RDI, you will work together with other specialists, advisors and inspectors because your work is strongly intertwined with the work in other departments and directorates.

Rijksinspectie Digitale Infrastructuur (RDI)
We are the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI). We stand for a securely connected Netherlands.
Cyber-secure devices, networks, and systems, artificial intelligence, 5G and 6G, energy transition, the digitization of broadcasting, and dynamic frequency management are the major themes of today and tomorrow. At the RDI, we enforce legislation and regulations in these areas—and many more. We also oversee compliance with rules, requirements, and conditions.
We do this with over 400 enthusiastic colleagues, working from our core values of social responsibility, shared vision, collaboration, personal accountability, and professionalism.
The RDI is part of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and has five directorates: Infrastructure, Equipment, Digital Resilience, Governance, Legal Affairs & Communication, and People & Resources.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs aims to be an employer where every employee, regardless of age, gender, orientation, ethnicity, or disability, wants to work. Working in diverse teams on societal issues makes us more effective, innovative, and makes the work more enjoyable.
At the RDI, we work in a hybrid manner: from home and in the office. We value a good workplace and therefore provide support for home office facilities and a home office allowance. Our offices in Amersfoort and Groningen offer a pleasant working environment and are within walking distance of the central station. Equally important to us is a good balance between professional and private life. Working hours are flexible and can be arranged by mutual agreement.
Directie Apparatuur
Description department:
Devices provide the interface, both physically and logically, with networks and organizations to be securely connected. As humans, we interact with and through devices in different ways. That must be safe and reliable. Safe from various angles; think of electrically safe (no shocks), electromagnetic safe (not too much radiation) and cyber safe (no problems with hackers). Reliable also from different angles: electromagnetic (does not cause interference or suffer from interference), metrological (reliable quantity information in commercial transactions) and accessible (also for people with disabilities).
The Equipment Directorate works together in three teams on standard-compliant equipment on the internal European market and therefore on safe and reliable equipment in use.
You will work in the Admission and Standardization team. Colleagues within your team have knowledge and expertise of the phase before a product is marketed. Consider making agreements internationally about the interpretation of norms and standards and essential requirements that equipment must meet. Or consider making frequency spectrum available internationally. Or the designation of bodies for guidelines (notified bodies and conformity assessment bodies), for example through accreditation. They have knowledge of the various guidelines and aspects that you will certainly get to know when you come to work with us.
Working in the Equipment department means direct social involvement in the safe and reliable working with and use of equipment. Devices that connect our lives to the world.
